In recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on 30 September 2024, CAGS is pleased to offer a new module in the Anti-Racism Response Training (ART) series that will focus on exploring concepts and language. The workshop will be held over Zoom for a three-hour period on Wednesday, 25 September from 12 noon - 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). The facilitators will conduct the session in English.
In this important and timely 3-hour workshop, participants will: review key concepts and language used in anti-racism work; explore connections between individual and systemic racism; look at how unconscious bias and stereotypes influence interactions with others; review the meaning and impacts of White privilege and fragility; examine the concept of and responses to micro-aggressions; and survey the racist origins of commonly used language. Participants will have the opportunity to learn and practice a wide range of anti-racism responses, and to share their own experiences if they choose.
CAGS is making a limited number of tickets available to Graduate Students, Postdocs, and other interested individuals from within our community of member institutions. Tickets will be sold for $95.00 CAD (no tax), and will include participation in the three-hour training session and all associated materials. Bundles of pre-paid tickets are available and can be arranged by writing to [email protected]. CAGS is a registered charity, and all ticket proceeds will go towards covering the costs of the workshop series.
Tickets are available to graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from CAGS member institutions, and will be sold until the capacity of the workshop has been reached.
